I can't say that it gets easier, but it does come less often over time. I believe it's healthy to let the grief in but also to spend quality time with great memories of our loved ones who are no longer with us.

Honestly, the pain will always be there. How much will depend on how close you were to that person. Certain things will trigger it and make it feel worse, but the truth is it's always there. As time goes on, the pain just changes into something that feels more like a burden to something that motivates you to do more for that person you've lost.

The pain does get a bit easier but each person is different and grieves in different ways. There is no "deadline" in terms of the pain getting easier either. Sometimes 10-15 years later, you will see something that reminds you of the person and the pain will return. To answer the question, you will learn to live with the pain but if it takes over your life, a professional grief counselor might be helpful.

No, it will always hurt when a loved one dies. The pain of that person's death eventually does ease up, but the pain when someone dies stays the same.

The pain of loss either death, breakup, or loss of friendship may never get easier. But the ways we cope can help a lot. One of the best ways for us is to talk to those who will listen or knew the person. You can also write down memories, look at pictures, do things that they liked to do, collect things that they collected (coins, photos, memorabilia, etc). We all deal with loss sometime in our life but the best thing we can do is make sure their legacy lives on. We have to keep moving forward and always "Pay it forward".

It is normal to experience deep pain and emotions such as depression, anger, anxiety, fear and even depression or guilt when a loved one passes away in particular if it is a baby, your child or your parents. People ask themself how long will the grieving process last? When will I feel normal again? Bereavement is a process, and every person experiences it in a different way. Some are able to say goodbye at the funeral, while others experience a much more complicated grief - and can even remain in denial of their loved ones passing for a long period of time. Grief also comes and goes in stages - in particularly around events and moments such as your loved ones birthday, anniversary or the holidays but often starts to abade as time passes. Oftentimes, people tend to draw their pain inwards, by sleeping for long periods of time to escape reality, while others turn to alcohol or drugs to alleviate their feelings. Grief can impact relationships, cause an increase or decrease in appetite and prevent you from doing normal activities, regardless of how simple they may be. There are healthier ways to deal with your long-term grief such as support groups, talking to family members about your pain and through activities such as exercise, meditation or crafting. If you find yourself in a situation in which your grief starts to greatly impact your daily life, and your thoughts of your loved one dying overpowers you, there are steps you can take such as seeing a doctor or therapist who can advice you as to help find some sense of relief from any troubling thoughts and also identify the factors that are preventing you from moving forward. Children might need some extra support from a professional or words and comments of support when coping, as they can take a relatively long time to cope with a death. There is also information available such as studies, research and articles on grief that can provide facts on the grieving process and provide ways for you to be able to face the world again. These signs can help you understand whether your reactions and processing require further support, but please note that the process of grief is quite subjective too. While the passing of your loved one is never forgotten, you will be able to get on with your life in your own way once you learn how to face and accept your feelings.

Yes and no, it does, at first it will be so hard for you to cope but it will eventually fade and then come back because there will be someone who reminds you of that person who passed away.

Yes. With time comes healing. It could take a couple days, a couples weeks, a couple months, or even a couple years, but it will pass. Will you forget? Probably not, but the initial pain should be easier to cope with. Don't rush your emotions.

It is unique to the individual, the length of time that they grieve. It is not for others to determine or force their beliefs on others. The pain of the death over time will transform I to acceptance and will go away but your memories will always remain.
